    I don’t think we can afford him. Would be ideal but it won’t happen.

    Harrogate (L2) away for Dec & the boys in R2 of the FA Cup.
    Bag a couple in that game and there will be interest from clubs.

    I wonder what Trinity value him at?
    His stock is ever increasing.

    Really?
    Vardy (then aged 22); National League to Championship when Leicester signed him for a non league record of £1M.

    Holds the record for most consecutive games scored in the Premier League – 11 games.
    Premier League Player of the Year & FWA Footballer of the Year in Leicester’s title winning season.
    Premier League Golden Boot winner in 2019-20.
    The only player in history to play in every round of the FA Cup, from the preliminary stages to the final.
    26 England caps, 7 goals.

    Leicester did well taking a ‘punt’ on Vardy!

    Quite frequently… check the links previously posted.
    Other good examples:
    Stuart Pearce
    Ian Wright
    Chris Waddle
    Vinnie Jones
    Chris Smalling
    Joe Hart
    Peter Crouch (loaned by Spurs)
    Ashley Williams
    Danny Ings
    Les Ferdinand
    Jimmy Bullard
    Steve Finan
    Kevin Philips
    Tyrone Mings
    Andre Gray
    Yannick Bolasie
    Stan Collymore

    I’m sure you guys will have many others that I’ve omitted as history is littered with these ‘rags to riches’ players.

    I remember we were offered vardy for around 300k after he ran us ragged for Halifax in a friendly, but turned it down due to it being too big a risk !

    ‘Speculate to accumulate’ ?

    Risk… the managers/recruitment have made some right old howlers over the years.
    Kenny Milne signed from Falkirk, wasn’t the fee about £400k ?, apparently he was injured when signed, came off in his 2nd game for us, injured for 2 years, made just 5 appearances yet pocketed £5k a week in wages.

    You couldn’t make it up.

    Bit ironic that players need to be ‘tried and tested’ but the manager steering the ship needn’t be.

    Mr Sherbert out of the clinker and back with a bang on the SUFG. Claiming we are looking at a CM from Farsley and a Striker from Gainsborough. Not sure how ITK he is now (or ever was when he was getting filled with Dodgy Dave’s hot air) BUUUTTTT (sorry Andy) could Rene be getting his Dec Howe dream?

    Well we can certainly agree on Ratty Arbuckle, 414. It did make me laugh how he’s been welcomed back in to the fold like the prodigal son (okay maybe an exaggeration). Also telling how at least one dummy spitter from Bru is entertaining him like nothing ever happened.

    Striker from Farsley would be good IMO. Campton-Sturridge looked the business to me, albeit in a poor side. Doubt Howe would be affordable with his current scoring form.

    As no one has seen his contract at Trinity then no one knows what clauses are in it.

    So people are going to have to wait. Priority for him is tonight and good luck to them and Russ.
